Yo, munchkin!

What do you want?

I just came back from my vacation.

Ok...

I ate sushi in China, climbed the Eiffel Tower in Germany and played with tigers in South Africa.

Yeah, right. There's no way you did any of that.

Yes, I did! I have proof!

Wow! You seem to have had a lot of fun.

I went to all those places in a private jet. A luxury you don't have.

I know. You're the coolest and smartest  person I've ever met. 

Tell me something I don't know.

Sure! There's a math competition coming up, and I know you'd love to go!

Wait, what?

Come on, I thought you were smart.

I am.

Then prove it.

LATER

Why does math have to be so HARD?!

My math textbook is covered in dust for a reason.

I need someone to teach me how to add.

There's this tutor I found online. You could arrange for a class.

Good idea! I need to win this competition.

You and I both know that's never going to happen.

Shut up.

NEXT DAY

I'm here for my class.

Great. Of all the people in the world, YOU have to be my student.

Uh... have we met?

Yeah?

I've never seen you before in my life.

You know Joanna Judes?

Yes. That annoying bug left the school camper a few months ago.

That "bug" is me.

What?! You're Joanna Judes?! But you're a guy!

I'm not a guy, you fool! I just cut my hair. Now open your notebook and let's get this over with.

Okay. Let's start with the basics. What is 1+1?

That's easy! 1 + 1 is 11.

Oh, yeah? What's 1 - 1, then?

53.

You and I have a lot of work to do for the next few weeks.

LE NEXT FEW WEEKS 🥵:

I have two apples. I give one to Peter. How many do I have left?

Um... 79.888?

Let's try this again. I have two apples. I throw one at Peter's head. How many do I have left?

1!

Very good.

What's 9 times 9 times 8 times 6 times 2?

34!

You're supposed to multiply, not add! 

Sin theta over cos theta equals tan theta...

This is so boring.

sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse

tan θ = sin θ/cos θ

sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse

tan θ = sin θ/cos θ

You could always let someone else win.

Never mind. Continue.

Practice test

2 - 15 = -13

log100 = 10

You got 2/5. It's an improvement, but it's not enough.

✅

❌

2 + 2 = 3

The Day of the Competition

Welcome! Welcome! I'm Sharolyn Emi, and I'm here to host today's competition!

These are our honourable questioners...

...and these are the contestants - Mr. Cheese and Joanna Dana Houston aka Jones!

My name Mr. Cheese.

Shall we start?

Yes!

SHALL WE START?!

YES!

Mr. Cheese sucks.

First question: What is the eccentricity of the hyperbola 

(5x - 10) + (5y + 15) = (12x - 5y + 1) ?

Uhh...

13 over 5.

CORRECT

Dang! He's better than I thought.
